  • ABT Audi AS6 Gets More Power and Attitude

    ABT Audi AS6 Front and Side View ABT Audi AS6 as presented here is just one of the examples how you can tune up the engine of you Audi with ‘6’ in its name. This group of vehicles is usually powered by a 2.0 or 3.0 TDI or even 3.0 TFSI engines, but for some people, they aren’t as race-performance oriented as they wish.

    In case you don’t have the money to buy the sportier S6 or RS6, ABT Sportsline have the right solution for you and it is called ‘ABT Power New Generation’.

    ABT and the Engine Technology

    The power booster includes individual ABT control unit, which features independently developed software. In case you are driving an Audi A6 with a four-cylinder TDI that usually develops 190 HP (140 kW) and 400 Nm (294 lb-ft) of torque, then this control unit will help your engine produce 215 HP (158 kW) and 440 Nm (245 lb-ft).

    But if you are enjoying the other two 3.0 TDI diesel engines in the range, which generate 320 HP (235 kW) and 326 HP (240 kW) as well as 650 Nm (480 lb-ft), then you should know that after the boost they can both reach 365 HP (268 kW) and 710 Nm (524 lb-ft) of torque.

    Petrol fans are also considered in case they want a performance improvement. Take for instance the standard 3.0 TFSI with 333 HP (245 kW). It is pushed to 410 HP (301 kW) with a torque increase from 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) to 520 Nm (384 lb-ft).

    Driving Pleasure Boosters

    Another interesting addition to this Audi is the electronic suspension lowering system, called ABT Level-Control. The air suspension can adjust the suspension springs upon request. In addition, the optional ABT sport brake system with 8-piston fixed callipers is perfect for you if you want to work the break as you enter curves.

     More Power Demands Change in the Exterior

    ABT Sportsline optics package for the Audi A6 is what makes the car truly stand out among the others. At least in terms of visual qualities. Here we have aggressive fender inserts and mirror covers in high-gloss visible carbon as well as two different variants of the rear spoilers for vehicles with the S-line package as well as the emblem set “Black Chrome”. And note that there is also in-house made rear skirt set including quadruple rear muffler and 89 mm pipe.

    At last, the designers at ABT decided that the perfect wheels for this Audi must come in 21-inch of size. They are of the type DR, but if you are looking for an alternative, then ABT Sportsline is offering light-alloy wheels of the types ER-C or FR with sizes starting from 19-inches.

  • ABT Sportsline are Back with 430HP Audi RS3

    ABT Audi RS3 Front ViewABT Sportsline team is back from the summer vacation and this time it presents more potent Audi RS3. There are not a lot of external modifications in this project, but we find that the addition around 60 hp sufficient enough.

    Engine Boost

    The stock 2.5 TFSI engine of the Audi RS3 produces 367 hp (270 kW). After the addition of ABT Power “New Generation“ and its extra control unit with its software, the sports model can now boast up to 430 hp (316 kW). If you wonder about the maximum torque, it has been raised from 455 Nm (336 lb-ft) to 530 Newton meters (391 lb-ft).

    This addition of 75 hp results in faster acceleration time. The tuned RS3 sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds on the way to a new electronically limited top speed of 285 km/h.

    More horses require more impressive sound, too. Both “stages” of the sound are generated by the 4-pipe exhaust system made of stainless steel and with black chrome-plated tailpipes measuring 102 mm.

    Wheels & Tires

    ABT Audi RS3 Wheels

    There is a choice of alloy wheels like the ER-C or light forged ER-F. For the Audi RS3, both versions are available in 19’-inch size in three different colors: “Gun-Metal”, “Silverbullet” or “Black Magic”. They come with 235/35 R19 tires.

    A very fancy feature is the LEDs with the ABT logo as well as the floor mats featuring silver ABT embroidery and curved lines. Both come as an optional specification.

  • ABT Audi A1 Quattro – Power and control

    The Audi A1 Quattro is truly an exceptional car, which has everything that a petrol head needs – speed, stability, handling and nice aggressive vision. Still, there are a few tweaks which can be done to make it even better.

    As Hans-Jürgen Abt emphasises: “A dynamic engine, an intelligent 4WD and a low weight – our A1 quattro is a real racer.“

    The ABT A1 Quattro is powered by a 2.0 liter four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine boosted to sensational 307HP (226 kW) and 400Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. This is an increase of 51HP and 50Nm. The result on the track is 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds (0.3 quicker) and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) – electronically limited.

    Still, the boost doesn’t affect the fuel consumption, which makes the A1 Quattro a suitable everyday vehicle, despite the hard as rock suspension.

    Hans-Jürgen Abt commented: “If needed, the A1 quattro reacts immediately if you hit the pedal to the metal and your body won’t lack adrenaline …. But it is also easy to drive through narrow inner city streets.“

    Once unleashed, this combination of ABT POWER and quattro drive is a sure winner!
